icloud for windows keeps asking for password

I am using a Dell i7 laptop with fully-updated Windows 10 Home.

Computer runs antivirus and Malwarebytes.

I have been using iCloud for Windows on my device for years, BUT

For the last 48 hours, every time my computer awakes from sleep or is rebooted, I am asked for my iCloud for windows password and my two-factor authentication code.

I have uninstalled all Apple software and freshly reinstalled just iCloud for Windows, but the issue persists.

I spent an hour+ on the phone with Apple Support yesterday, but no solution yet, so I am turning to the Community for some ideas.

Thanks to all!

iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 11.3

I was able to uninstall using Control Panel as an Administrator--you can't uninstall using Windows 10 Settings. After I uninstalled I went back to the older v6.2 as mentioned here and the popups have stopped. Good luck.

Mine started doing it a week ago, but with even more odd problems. A day after it started there, it was also doing it on my iMac and phone. After resetting the password to no avail, I reset the phone and iMac. Seemed to have stopped it there, but still doesn't stop the password box from coming up on the PC, and it is showing up in iCloud as being separate logins from separate PC's every time, over and over again. Not sure what they are using for records, but this makes zero sense.
